NUCLEAR is back! However, argues Dr. Helen Caldicott frenetically, nuclear energy is not the answer! Once again, industry is feeding the public a crock that “nuclear-generated electricity” is inexpensive, safe, pollution & global-warming free. The “true cost” of nuclear power is staggering. Dr. Caldicott points out the huge “offsetting” consumption of fossil fuel in the nuclear-to-energy cycle. Then there is the vast “water pollution” by nuclear reactors. Did industry omit...

Christian Zionists believe that in order to fulfill Biblical prophecy, Israel must conquer most of the Middle East. They are a growing force in American politics with ties to many powerful pro-Israel groups in Washington. Once considered a marginal doctrine among evangelicals, the dispensationalist theology of Christian Zionism includes a belief in the rapture, when the faithful are to be lifted up to Heaven while the rest of humanity—including most of the Jews—will perish.

Anyone familiar with The JFK Case must conclude our 35th President was murdered – and not by a lone gunman. A Grand Conspiracy idea can be painful - even forty-nine years later - for believers in American Democracy. According to Professor James Fetzer, “The Secret Service set-up JFK. The CIA, Mafia, Military took him out. The FBI covered-up the plot.” JFK was cracking down on the Mafia, CIA, Vietnam War expansion, The FED and Big Oil. In short, JFK was killed because he thought he...

Professor Salman H. Abu-Sitta of the London-based Palestine Land Society gives a personal account of how he became a refugee in Palestine in 1948. Using data from his research, Abu-Sitta shows how over 600 Palestinian villages were systematically depopulated by the advancing Israeli forces, leaving many others dismembered by an arbitrary cease-fire line. With maps and demographic statistics, Abu-Sitta shows that, in effect, Zoinist policies were an ethnic cleansing campaign that resulted in a...

Filmed in Tel Rumeida. Most of us in the West do not understand life on the West Bank as experienced by the Palestinians. Nor do we understand the seemingly irrational and hate-filled behavior of the Jewish Settlers in this area. This video sheds insight as to why children of Jewish Settlers are combative, aggressive, and fanatically rude. Incredibly, you witness a settler mother teaching her children better rock throwing techniques then advising them on better places to hurt the Palestinians!...
